CLICKBoutport Street, Barnstaple, Devon EX31 1SY - Tel: 01271 327357 |
Earliest
records
suggest festivals developing in celebration of
Barnstaple's annual fair as far back as 1435, when
merchants brought with them Minstrels, Players,
Jugglers and Buffoons to amuse onlookers. As a
thriving trading port, Barnstaple attracted a
broad range of multi-cultural traders developing
the town's reputation for festival events. It is
documented that a festival in 1605 attracted the
touring King's Players to the town and it is
thought that a certain William Shakespeare
performed with them! In 1952 the hall was built and
named The Queen's Hall. With limited funds its
interior was plain, but it provided a
multi-purpose function as the site of live
entertainment, antique markets, dog shows and
alike right up until 1993. At this point the local council
took the brave decision to close it down and
refurbish the building to offer North Devon the
beautiful theatre you see today. It opened its
doors on Christmas Eve 1993 to a sell out
production of Snow White and has been growing in
stature ever since.

Old Vic
Theatre/Theatre Royal/New Vic |
In 1766, over one hundred philanthropic merchants, lawyers and politicians clubbed together to open an illegal, back-street theatre, down an alley and through a courtyard off King Street in the Bristol docks’ district. Some people were appalled: they believed the theatre ran the “risk of ruining the morals of our youth, impoverishing our tradesmen and artisans, promoting the arts of intrigue and of seducing the innocent, reducing many perhaps to bankruptcy, injuring the credit of others and diffusing a habit of idleness, indolence, and debauchery throughout this once industrious and virtuous city”. In 1778, King George III granted the theatre a Royal Licence. Thus the new theatre in Bristol’s King Street became one of a number of Theatre Royal, formally embraced by the establishment. Throughout the 19th century, the theatre enjoyed mixed fortunes. By the early 20th century, then energy of the city had moved away from the docks and up the hill to the fashionable residential areas.By the Second World War, the theatre was in decline. However, surviving the bombing of Bristol’s city centre, it was saved for the nation by a coalition of civic, corporate and citizen lobbyists. Then, in 1943, the theatre became Britain’s first state-subsidised theatre. And in 1946 it gained its first resident company, an off-shoot of London’s Old Vic Theatre – hence a new name: Bristol Old Vic. In 1972 the theatre opened its Studio Theatre and additional front-of-house areas incorporating the 18th-century guildhall, the Coopers’ Hall. |

result far exceeded expectations with national
critical acclaim and full houses.

Octagon Theatre |
The Octagon was built in 1974 and opened as a multi purpose hall (The Johnson Hall). Within the first few years it became apparent that the venue was both more suitable and successful at staging performances than any of the other activities (ballroom dances, exhibitions, etc.) for which it was intended. From the outset the Johnson Hall became home to Yeovil Amateur Operatic Society who have regularly presented two musical productions each year. Another early user who has maintained their relationship with The Octagon up to the present day is the Yeovil Temple Salvation Army whose annual Christmas Carol services become ever more popular. In 2003 the Octagon was refurbished and extended. A new rehearsal studio was created on the ground floor, whilst on the first floor space was added to the bar and cafe areas.The auditorium was re-seated and even the structure on which the seating stands was replaced. Creating large new storage areas and ensuring greater comfort for theatregoers. |

In

Development Corporation, persuaded the district and
town councils, Southern Arts Association and the
Arts Council to create the arts centre and theatre
at South Hill Park, keen for everyone to have the
opportunity of enjoying the arts as much as he did
himself. Sir Jack was elected Founder Chairman of
the Arts Centre on its opening in 1973. In 1984, the
construction of Phase 2 completed the original
design for the 330 seat Wilde Theatre,
which has drawn large numbers of people to the area
since its opening. In 2002, the Park completed a
major programme of refurbishment. A successful
application for Ł3million from the Arts Council of
England National Lottery Board, partnered with
Ł1million from Bracknell Forest Borough Council, has
created an exciting development of the mansion
buildings. The scheme has transformed the interior
of the old building into a purpose built art space.
A New Atrium
opened up the heart of the building and provides an
attractive meeting place, a restaurant and bar
featuring art works and an informal performance
space. |

New Forest stretches to the East for some
thirty miles as far as Southampton. The
Centre was opened in 1931 as a cinema and
was used thus or as a bingo hall until 1983,
when it was purchased by Christchurch
Borough Council for re-development. Local
pressure and enthusiasm for the arts
persuaded the Borough Council to re
establish the cinema and add structures and
fittings to enable theatre presentations.
The Council provided a small number of key
professional staff, but a majority of the
day to day operation was carried out by
volunteers. The programme of events at the
centre has continued to expand and diversify
since this time. In 1986, a temporary
structure was added to the rear of the
building to provide dressing room
accommodation and a Studio rehearsal space.
In 2000 a permanent four story replacement
was completed as part of the town’s
Millennium celebration. |

The Centre's history begins in the 1970s, when a strong demand for an arts centre for Maidenhead began to emerge. Maidenhead Arts was set up in 1978 as an umbrella organisation of local arts groups committed to establishing an appropriate centre for both amateur and professional work.In 1992 part of the Norden Farm site was sought for redevelopment. The site offered listed buildings with a quality ambience suited to creative activity, an opportunity to preserve part of Maidenhead's heritage, and a proximity to the heart of the community which would enable use of the facility to be maximised. Norden Farm Centre Trust, was established to manage the project. Work commenced on building Norden Farm arts centre in early 1994. The Arts Council carried out a full assessment during autumn 1997, prior to an announcement of support and approval for the finished scheme with a Lottery award of Ł5,295,000 in January 1998. The final design stage of the project was completed in late 1998 and Norden Farm Centre for the Arts finally opened its doors to the public on the 17 September 2000. Up to 2,500 people a week visit the Centre for a variety of live shows, films, classes and workshops, or to eat in the Cafe Bar or Norden's restaurant. |

Playhouse Theatre, Beaumont St, Oxford OX1 2LW Tel : 01865 798600 |
Oxford Playhouse has a well-earned reputation as one of Britain's leading theatres. From its foundation in the 1920s to the present day, it has been associated with the launch of many stellar careers and productions; its repertory years saw companies which included such names as John Gielgud, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, Ronnie Barker and Dirk Bogarde. Its association with the University of Oxford brought Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor to our stage (in a memorable 1960s production of Dr Faustus). Other notable student performers include Rowan Atkinson and Dudley Moore, as well as future talents who were destined to grace a different kind of stage, like politicians Shirley Williams and Nigel Lawson, director John Schlesinger and writers Alan Bennett and Christopher Hampton. Overcoming the difficulties and changes that have beset theatres across the country in recent years, the past decade has seen The Oxford Playhouse re-emerge as a vibrant presenting theatre, a key date on the national touring circuit, with strong support from its wide audience. We host a rich programme of drama, dance, music, music theatre and children's theatre, and we are taking an increasingly active role in producing, launching and commissioning new work. |

Sheldonian Theatre, Broad St, Oxford, OX1 3AZ - Tel: 01865 277299 |
The
Sheldonian Theatre was erected in 1664-8 to a
design by Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723) from
funds donated by Gilbert Sheldon (1598-1677), who
during his long career held office as Warden of
All Souls Bishop of London and Archbishop of
Canterbury and was elected as Chancellor of the
University of Oxford. In 1994 the Theatre was
described by the European Commission as "one of
the architectural jewels of Oxford". Its purpose
was to provide an appropriate secular venue for
the principal meetings and public ceremonies of
the University, and this remains its purpose
today.The seating capacity is up to 1,000 for
conferences and 800 for concerts and there is a
substantial floor area for presentational
material. Although the theatre does not have all
the features which may be required for business
sessions, it has been used successfully for formal
opening or closing meetings. It is also eminently
suited for musical entertainments for prestige
conferences, for which it has experienced staff.

This dignified and beautiful theatre - with its Italian Renaissance style of decor - is one of the best examples of the elegant Edwardian playhouses to be found in the British Isles and one of the few remaining traditional hemp houses. It is the result of the vision and business acumen of John Walter Boughton and the architectural prowess of Frank Matcham, one of the greatest of theatre architects. Although Frank Matcham is much respected and his work is becoming well documented, J W Boughton remains largely unknown outside Portsmouth .This theatre has served the citizens of Portsmouth and the surrounding area for 100 years. With the help and support of all the local community let us share the courage and vision of J W Boughton and Frank Matcham, and see that the Kings remains active and very much alive in its centenary in 2007 and onwards for the next 100 years. |

Brighton Dome |
Inspired by the Corn
Exchange in Paris and originally covered
with a huge segmented glass dome, this
remarkable building was designed as the
Prince Regent's riding stables and was
finally completed in 1805. Part of the
famous Royal Pavilion Estate, it was later
converted into a Concert Hall in 1866 and
became the most fashionable and culturally
significant venue in the south. It was
restored again in 1935 with a resplendent
art-deco interior, and showcased some of the
world's biggest names in entertainment,
including Paul Robeson and Richard Tauber in
its 1930s opening season. Now following it's
grand re-launch in 2002 the biggest names
are back at the Dome crossing all art forms
from to Dame Kiri Te Kanawa to Lou Reed. The
Concert Hall's recent multi-million pound
rebuilding and refurbishment project has
restored the venue to its former glory,
maintaining the integrity of both the Grade
1 listed Regency exterior and the 1930s
Grade 1 listed interior. Superb new
front-of-house facilities, comfortable
seating and enhanced acoustics have
transformed the Concert Hall into a major
centre for live arts and business for the
21st century. |

Warehouse
Theatre |
The
Warehouse Theatre was founded by Sam
Kelly, Richard Ireson, and Adrian
Shergold at the height of the lunchtime
theatre boom with the aim of presenting
a varied season of plays with an
emphasis on new work to the highest
possible standards. The first production
- Hell's Angels on Typewriters by Angela
Wye - opened in May 1977, and the then
50 seat auditorium became an instant
favourite with local audiences for
lunchtime performances whilst sharing
the building with a Caribbean night
club. In 1978 the Arts Council recognised the work of the theatre by awarding a major grant and in 1979 the nightclub closed, evening performances were introduced and the seating capacity was increased to 100. Highly respected touring companies began to visit the theatre between in-house productions and extremely popular cabaret evenings were introduced, with performers including Lenny Henry, French and Saunders, Rik Mayall, Ben Elton, and Julian Clary. Gradually more plays were premiered, with many being specially commissioned by successful writers, such as Sue Townsend, who wrote Groping for Words and Womberang for the theatre. |

The Orange Tree Theatre opened on the 31 December 1971 in the upstairs room of the Orange Tree pub near to Richmond Station. It was part of the explosion of “alternative” theatre than blossomed in the late 60s and early 70s. It proved the right time and the right place, and having had to do the first lunchtime performance twice to accommodate the numbers who came, the theatre developed throughout the 70s, often relishing the queues on the stairs eager for seats in those days before any form of booking at all!The new Orange Tree Theatre, seating 172, London’s only full time professional theatre in the round, opened in February 1991, in what had been a school, just across the road from the pub. The first production was Arthur Murphy’s All in the Wrong.The Orange Tree is now one of the most highly respected off-West-End theatres in London and the wide range of theatre productions draws loyal audiences from Richmond, surrounding areas of London – and well beyond. |
